The Mighty Benkei
Quality rice paper Japanese lanterns as used through centuries of Japanese history to the present day.
An ukiyoe design featuring the legendary warrior Benkei.
In Japanese mythology, Benkei stood at Gojo Bridge in Kyoto where he disarmed all who attempted cross. At last, in his 1000th duel, he was defeated by Minamoto Yoshitsune, son of a great warlord. From that day Benkei became a retainer for Yoshitsune.
Ukiyoe (pictures of the floating world) originated in the 18th century, and the vivid images of geisha, kabuki actors and famous figures became quintessential symbols of Japan.

I got what I ordered just as I did last time.
Very happy.
If you can get the sizing right, you will not be disappointed with the quality and construction of this shirt. I'd initially ordered a size L but on arrival found it to be short in the arm length for my liking. It was kindly gifted to a family member. I promptly re-ordered the product in the adjusted size of 4L- just perfect!!
Now that I've dialled in the measurements for both tobi shirt & trouser, pending availability, I will be purchasing again.
Comfortable, sturdy belt. Love the leather. Love the double pin design, very functional.
Everything I expected and more. Supreme comfort, freedom of movement and quality. Happy to try another 😉
I bought these same shoes and I loved them but I got a size too big (my own fault). These are my repurchase of the right size! They are so comfortable and are probably my favorite shoes I own.
I love these shoes! They have a size conversion chart you can check when buying the shoes, as well Japanese shoe sizing being very straight forward. The size of the shoe is however many centimeters your foot is! I got nervous about choosing the right size and order a size too big. I bought another pair a size down and I will be using the pair that is a little too big as a pair to decorate. The ones I am getting in the correct size will be a pair of everyday shoes! They are comfortable and well made! The tabs are not hard to do and once you know exactly how you want them to fit, they are super easy and quick to put on.
Fit perfectly even without a belt. Very comfortable and flows material. High quality stitching
Purchased these in hopes for a experimental sock-like lightweight indoor shoes. Noticed quite quickly that due to its "rubber on sock" was quite prone to damage if not worn in water (like it is supposed to). Works extremely well for watersports
